Hi out there!

I dont blog regularly anymore because not much changes with my hair other than the length and my love for it. I did recolor my hair since I originally did it becasue I couldn't take the black roots anymore. I did forget what color I originally used so I just put a copper on top and this is how it came out! In 5 months I will have been locked for 3 years. I am starting to be a source of lock envy to those with either no locks or younger locks! That is a pretty awesome deal too!

Long time no Blog...

It has definitely been a while since I've blogged. I've fallen off largely because of my new job, I am at a computer 40 hours per week so that when I get home, I have no desire for logging on to the computer, much less up date my blog. The other part of it is pure laziness. I still love my hair and it is growing like crazy. These pictures are a few from my Birthday weekend away with my best friends. We went to Maryland and DC. We had a blast.
I don't do much to my hair due to lack of time. I love curls but can't stand the two hours it takes for me to roll it. I enjoy the braid out but can't stand having my hair cornbraided....I am not complaining at all I am just really beginning to appreciate the time it takes to style my hair as it gets longer. In fact, I went back to letting Martine retighten both my hair and Jada's. DIY is soooo last year! No really, it is just so freakin time consuming I am never in the mood for it anymore. In the third picture, that is my girl from NJ who is rocking 4 month old SL's. Yes, I was her hairspiration!

My Sisterlocks' 2nd Birthday!

January 17, 2009 My locks turned 2! I just washed them with Carol's Daughter new black vanilla shampoo. I like it alot too! I love all of her products actually, I still Aveda's Rosemary mint shampoo, but lately I've been wanting to have a variety of scents in my hair. I am showing off because I can finally get a ponytail well mostly, a few locks from the tippity top manage to break free so I stuck a bobby pin in it for the picture however. I am certain that once I am retightened by my consultant whom I haven't had the privilege of sitting in her chair for a whole year, my ponytail will be more official. I will certainly take pics of my hair because once it is retightened.....stay tuned.

Jada's Braidlocks Turn 1 Year Old!

Look at my locks! They are getting so long! My mom tightened them using the nappy lock tool ever since I got my locks November 21, 2008 but she decided that Martine should retighten them because she said they "grow like weeds." If you look closely you can really see the lock clearly seperate from the braid. Martine and my mom said that one day, the lock and the braided portion will fuse together...i'm not sure what that all means but I surely do love my hair even if I get teased from time to time.

Almost two years old

In less than a month I will have been locked for 2 whole years! Time flies when you are natural and free! Since I started my lock journey, I have converted three dear friends of mine from perms to Sisterlocks. Seems sort of like a small revolution to me. It feels great to be a bit of a pioneer within my intimate social network and to also be a lock idol to them. Not too long ago, it was I who was "idolizing" everyone else's locks and wanting mine to look just like everyone elses, now it is happeneing to me. I have maintained my locks independently for this entire year too! I have done a good job but as I journey through this year, I may utilize my consultant a bit more, I love saving money, but sometimes, I just don't feel like being bothered. Often times, I join a few of my locks and by separating them I have caused one to be thin or even cut one or two off mistakenly...While I certainly don't like doing this, I don't totally mind because I feel like I have so much hair I can't even notice...... but still. I just want my consultant in my hair to work her magic. In any event, here are a few pictures of my hair as of late. The freestyle pic is immediately after a fresh wash and retightening and the othe pic is of me with a braid out. As you can see, my hair is truly shoulder length. Short to some, but long to me, it even gets caught in my coat....While I always had a good amount of hair, I don't remember ever having to pull it out of my coat. To think this is the beginning...What is a girl to do when it is REALLY long?

Feeling Punky!!

I've always wanted a mohawk so one of my co-workers gave started me off and I fine tuned it a bit for this funky do...What do you think? I like it....
